AICTE Idea Lab
PREC AICTE Idea Lab
The AICTE IDEA Lab (Idea Development, Evaluation & Application Lab) is an initiative by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)
AICTE has decided to establish IDEA (Idea Development, Evaluation &
Application) Lab in AICTE-approved institutions, encouraging students for
application of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)
fundamentals towards enhanced hands-on experience, learning by doing, and
even product visualization. As a common facility embedded in the institution,
the IDEA Lab will make engineering graduates more imaginative and creative,
besides getting basic training in the 21st century skills like- critical thinking,
problem solving, design thinking, collaboration, communication, lifelong
learning etc. IDEA Lab can facilitate the students and faculty to “engage,
explore, experience, express and excel” as desired by the Hon’ble Prime
Minister in the wake of release of National Educational Policy 2020.
The purpose of IDEA Lab is to provide all facilities under one roof, for
conversion of an idea into a prototype. With these facilities in the
campus, more students and faculty will be encouraged to take up
creative work and in the process, get training on creative thinking,
problem solving, collaboration etc. which conventional labs are not able
to.
The focus will be on training students so that they become imaginative
and creative and stay so at the workplaces they join. The whole idea is
to transform engineering education with such a Lab in all colleges and
for this they must proactively expose all students to the IDEA Lab,
organize training sessions for interested students as well as support
projects and by providing online learning materials.
The utilization of facilities for the purpose they are given, to the maximum
extent, is of paramount concern for AICTE. Towards this, institutions can
come together under a lead institution which is eligible to apply. The Lab has
to be in the premises of the lead institution which will be responsible for
executing the project and ensuring that participating institutions and industries
are not a liability on IDEA Lab/ Institution.
